Roselle's death wish

Meanwhile, Above the Gray Fog, inside the eternally ancient castle.

The area around the weathered Bronze Long Table became very quiet, and the rows of high-backed chairs were empty, with only two figures remaining.

Luther and Klein remained seated in their chairs; their gathering of Transmigrators' Gathering only just begun.

"Dear Mr. Fool."

Klein stood up and bowed to the empty space above. "I request that you materialize the diaries that [The Hermit] offered me before, so that I may share them with [Temperance], as payment for what I did for you last time."

"Can."

A calm voice came from the depths of the Gray Fog.

As soon as the words were spoken, a bound Parchment appeared on each of the tables in front of Luther and Klein with a "whoosh," covered with dense writing in Rosellean.

They're not even acting anymore...

Luther watched this scene and silently complained to himself.

What does "reward for what I did last time" mean? What exactly was the reward that granted him so much access to his diary? Klein has completely given up; he's not even bothering to come up with a decent reason to justify sharing his diary...

Despite his complaints, he still obediently took the diary and nodded to the person at the head of the table. "Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Fool."

Let's just keep pretending like this for now...

He thought to himself as he looked down at the diary in his hand.

This is Roselle's Diary, the last thing the Queen Mystic sent him before her departure. What crucial information might be hidden inside?

On the yellowed pages, these words were left.

"On September 27th, I met Miss Ithaca again and had a thrilling yet wonderful experience with her. I still prefer women of this age. It's not just about reminiscing about youth; it's something that hasn't changed over the years. Hehe, so loyal."

"..."

Luther silently put down his diary and looked at Klein at the bottom of the long table. Klein also looked up at the same time and met his gaze.

Although no one spoke, they all had only one thought in their minds at that moment—that Roselle guy is really wasting our feelings... We came to see the Concealment of extraordinary events, not to see your romantic escapades!

"When I see that guy, I'm going to read these diaries aloud in front of him and his daughter!"

Luther said coldly, "Don't you like writing?"

"Alright, alright, keep watching..." Klein said with a wry smile, then lowered his head again.

Fortunately, the following diary entries were more valuable.

"On November 21st, thanks to extensive preparations, I obtained that chaotic and terrifying Level 0 Sealed Artifact faster than I had anticipated. Then, after a difficult struggle, and with the help of others, I finally restored it to its pure Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic."

"In a few days, once the Ritual is complete, I should be able to advance to Sequence 1 of the 'Mystery Pryer' Pathway, 'Knowledge Emperor'."

November 26th, sunny, light breeze.

"The Ritual went smoothly, I digested the information thoroughly, the anchor was very stable, and there weren't many difficulties throughout the process."

"I am now Sequence 1 Angel, the Emperor of Knowledge. Bernadette no longer needs to worry about the influence of the 'Hidden Sage' and can continue on this path, adhering to the maxim 'Do as you please, but do not harm!'"

"At the same time, my Sequence 1 Angel rank means I can largely resist the gaze and pollution from the Astral World, and go above the Crimson Moon to see what's there."

"Regardless of whether Mr. Door is lying, everything indicates that Crimson Moon is the key to the problem. If I want to become True God, I must find out the reason."

"We'll prepare for three more days and then attempt a moon landing!"

"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind! Ha ha, that's not my saying."

Upon reading this, Luther's eyes narrowed sharply. That Roselle guy... went to land on the moon?

It matches up! Many of the previous doubts now make sense!

The reason for his drastic change in temperament in his later years, the terrible Corrosion on the [Moon] card he created, the reason for insisting on jumping to the "Black Emperor"... all of this is because Roselle Gustav was contaminated by the "Primordial Moon" during his moon landing!

After being contaminated, he did many outrageous things, and at the same time Consciousness his abnormality, so he used a different Pathway, a desperate attempt to survive, to fight for his freedom!

"That's just asking for death..."

Thinking of this, Luther couldn't help but shake his head.

The terrible Filth of the Crimson Moon, even from a great distance, undeniably affects people on Earth, proving its terrifying Moon. Roselle, a Sequence 1 "Knowledge Emperor," couldn't comprehend this and insisted on ascending to the heavens...

Aren't you the same way?

Hearing him say that, Klein couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "His crazy actions when faced with danger aren't much more rational than Roselle's... Don't laugh at me, Elder Brother..."

Luther glared at him.

"How can that be the same?"

He said, "If I don't fight desperately, I'll really die. I can't afford to retreat even a step... But Roselle has had a smooth journey since his transmigration, without encountering any difficulties. Suddenly, he's suddenly prepared to take such a huge risk. Something's clearly wrong." If I had to use an analogy, it would be the difference between a barefoot person and a person wearing shoes.

"Perhaps there are other factors interfering."

Klein thought for a moment and said, "For example, that 'Mr. Door' trapped in Astral World."

Roselle had been communicating with "Mr. Door" and obtaining a lot of useful information from him. However, "Mr. Door" was not a selfless being, and perhaps he was secretly influencing Roselle, ultimately leading him to make the risky decision to go to the moon.

"Hmm, that's possible."

Luther thought that made sense.

They exchanged some more views and then paused for a while.

I've finished reading about half of the diary, but if I continue, the Transmigrators' Gathering will turn into a book club. I'll save it for when I get back and read it myself. It's more important to exchange some important information as soon as possible.

"I'm setting sail tomorrow, so you're in charge of dealing with Hvin Rambis."

"No problem. If I Spirit Channeling any important information from him, I'll contact you immediately... Oh, right, about the Goddess... it seems she's already grasped a part of the Death's Uniqueness."

How did you know?

"A branch of the Numinous Episcopate has become His followers... The leading Demigod even came to see me, treating me as Oracle... An Old Man performed a very intense spiritual dance in front of me."

"... Okay then."

Luther imagined the scene and found it rather cringe-worthy.

After that, they chatted for a while longer before rising to greet the Fool, thus concluding the Tarot Club.

Tranquility returned Above the Gray Fog.
